Bought this and fitted it with donor parts, so it's 7 speed Shimano STX - not necessarily stock. Tektro cantilevers that I thought bore a passing resemblance to Grafton. Nice frame that's 'triple butted' apparently, and nice Ritchey forks. Paint has its fair share of scratches. Too many bikes...

I'm setting up some Dia Compe 1980s cantilevers and there's no adjustment on the spring tension to help centre the brakes. What was the Olden Days method to do this, or should I just shuffle the pads in the canti clamps to compensate? NB: Frame & fork only have one canti spring hole so I can't...

New acquisition. I'm not very au fait with Cannondale so can someone give me a rough idea of vintage and model no please? The seatstay U brake suggests about 1990 to me but happy to be corrected.

Right well I'm making an effort on this one so here's some 'before' pictures to give some context. The bike is an 83 (or possibly 84 model) Peugeot mountain bike. Bought from a couple in Halifax who said they'd bought it in early 80s. Helpful chaps on here identified the frame number as an...

Does anyone know how I can get decals for my Raleigh Technium? Currently doing up a 1983 Peugeot, I've had the frame powder coated and I've got decals to go onto it - sourced the right ones no problems. I'd like to do the same for my 1990 Technium which needs some paint but I can't find...

Hoping someone can tell me a bit more about this bike. According to the seller (and this may be garbled by the mists of time) this bike was shown at the 'Harrogate bike show' sometime in the early 80s. Apparently Peugeot imported 20 to the UK, and 'Branches' (or possibly Branch's) bike shop of...

Alright team, recently I bought a British Eagle Cannon for £30 off the Bay. I would guess it's somewhere between 93-96 vintage judging by the parts and style - please educate me if you know better. I mainly just wanted it for the surprisingly good bits on it eg Shimano STX and some nice...

After a saddle to suit 93 Look MTB. The original Look branded saddle isn't available so I'm looking for something USA or Canada or French (!). Bit tatty is fine but pref no rips or tears. Nothing Uber expensive please.

Am having trouble finding 10 speed chainrings at anything like a reasonable price, the best I can find is about £30 for both (and £60 for a new 105 chainset). Can anyone do any better? I don't get it, I can get everything else priced very reasonably but I refuse to pay half the cost of a...

Has anyone got one of those headset washer/brake hanger combo things that you route your front brake cable through if there's no stop on the stem? Need a 1 1/8" one if possible, nice and cheap! thanks

Looking for someone (bike shop or frame builder) to chase my bb shell on an aluminium Bianchi (Italian thread). I'm near Leamington but can drive the frame within 30 miles pretty easily. Am trying to avoid the wild goose chase in bike shops: "sorry mate we've only got the English thread tap"...

Anything considered really up to £150 mark.

Trying to get my bottom bracket off and my vice is too shallow to hold BB tool. Can you help? Some sort of chocolate based treat could be an incentive.

Anything considered if it's Bianchi blue/green

I'm looking for: RH Daytona crank & rings OR complete Campag crankset in alu finish eg Veloce, Daytona, Chorus (pref 172.5mm) Campag brake blocks (with the little sticky out wing to help the wheel locate) Veloce front mech - braze-on, silver finish 9-spd Campag brifter (Ergopower) RH can...

Has anyone else seen this yet? https://vanhawks.com/studio It seems heavy on tech ( connected GPS, blind spot monitor Etc) but the interesting thing for me is the cvt hub (option). It seems like cracking value too although I don't know what import duty would be.
